Get together and decide what needs to be done - sometimes its nothing and sometimes youll have to say, Coach, weve got the same call. I like it when my partner comes in and says, Ive got the same thing. He was dead.

You are going to get help based on what a coach wants?

Of course that ties into the equation. If Francona would have stayed in the dugout we would have a double and a run scoring instead of a HR.
Same for the other plays. Actually the coach asked for an explaination and ended up with the call being right. Talk about helping the umpire out.
Imagine what would have happened to Marsh if the play would have been uncontested and all of TV world knew it was a HR and it didn't get called. His nickname would be Denkinger.
BAck to the 80's we go.
